Player Summary:

RS SR and 3 yr full-time starter on the OL where he aligns at LT and has shown great position versatility having also started at RT and RG and will start at C in 2024 in the gap/zone blocking scheme of CASC. He possesses marginal height and weight with ordinary speed and a powerful build. He is a solid athlete showing a combination of solid COD, explosiveness, acceleration, lateral quickness and agility with adequate balance with solid play speed. He is a sufficient run blocker. When pulling, he shows above-average lateral quickness and agility as he pulls through the hole and exhibits good FBI as he takes the correct angle when pursuing his target. He uses his momentum and solid play strength to overpower ILB with ordinary size at the POA. He displays solid play speed when reaching to the 2nd level on zone blocks. In pass pro, he plays with a good, wide base and displays quick feet while exhibiting above-average bend. He exhibits sufficient play strength as he anchors against EDGE with adequate size and length. He displays decent reactive athleticism as he resets his feet and stays with EDGE with ordinary AA who execute spin moves and is able to pick up IDL with adequate lateral quickness and agility twisting towards the outside. Solid mental toughness allows him to play until the whistle consistently. He exhibits ordinary UOH in his punch, placement and timing as he struggles to win battles with his hands inside which enables EDGE with good length and UOH to bull rush and walk him back while in pass pro. While run blocking, his lack of quality UOH prevents him from maintaining his block against EDGE with good play strength. Adequate finish ability prevents him from finishing blocks to the ground against DL with solid balance. Below-average balance prevents him from consistently keeping his weight over his toes causing him to play off-balanced.

Power Statement:

Experienced, versatile, athletic player who is solid as a run blocker and ordinary in pass pro. He exhibits solid athleticism as he pulls and shows quick feet in pass pro.  Lack of quality UOH and length limits his ability in pass pro as an OT. Below-average balance prevents him from keeping his weight over his toes consistently.
